Tool Time: Sawing Circle 7/15/25

For today's Sawing Circle we simply asked:

• What is your most expensive tool?
• What is your oldest tool?
• Which tool do you use most often?

From this we got a whole bunch of interesting stories, show & tell and even a few hot tips!

• If you're looking for an O2 concentrator, contact a durable medical supplies company. Each machine has a hours gauge. When they hit their limit they are no longer safe for human use, but have lots of life left in them for the studio and can be found for cheap! 
• Be sure to check your local Buy Nothing groups for tools, especially exotic ones that the average person wouldn't even know about.
